Probably a long shot, but I will be going to 10 or so wrestling events in Japan in a few months - I was looking for a point and shoot that probably has the best bet to turn our decent pictures.

Would anyone have any advice for a pocket friendly camera to look at for it? will be in 20-40 thousand seat venues and then smaller 2-10k venues.

If you’re fine getting holiday snaps, then I think the current recommendation for a good point and shoot is Sony’s RX100 line.

If you’re going for Wrestle Kingdom, sightlines make things tough, plus there’s the awning setup around the ring that might block some views. You can get decent photos showing the scale and size of things but action shots in the ring from pedestrian seats is tough. You’ll have a lot better chance at the smaller venues.

That’s framed almost exactly like an enormous Renaissance painting

Bumping this from the grave yard because one of the local J-League soccer clubs in the Tokyo area is selling special “photographer’s section” seats for a match coming up in a couple weeks in collaboration with Nikon.

https://twitter.com/frontale_staff/status/1577961184212357121

  • Tickets are 11,000 JPY (~$80 with exchange rate now), 8 seats were available this week
  • Its explicitly for photographers - rules of buying and using the seat include no smartphone photos, no asking for autographs, not to interrupt play, and no wearing away team items
  • It will go forward rain or shine, so truly one for the hardcore
  • They’re also offering the chance to rent Nikon Z70 bodies and 80-400 lenses

Wish I had the time to go try, might be fun.

Have any clubs elsewhere done similar? This is really the first I’m hearing of it.
